I do wonder why Stoned Angelo can't use his Stand anymore. Heck, I wonder how it helped him survive hanging.

Depends on how they use hanging as an execution method in Japan. If it's hanging him so that the rope closes off his throat and he suffocates, I would guess that he used Aqua Necklace to keep his airway open while faking suffocation. If it's hanging him so that the rope will snap his neck, then I have no idea.

Or you could just watch the anime, and only read the manga if you desire to. I feel like telling people to read the manga constantly doesn't really help people getting in to Jojo from the show, and it just makes this thread devoted to the anime a bunch of white noise that's annoying to people who just want to discuss the show? :shrug:


I don't actually care about the Manga that much although I have read some of it. I was posting a joke image, because it was funny

I really like how each part has its own style and aesthetic. I jumped on the Jojo train during SDC, and by that I mean I appreciated it from afar because I loving hated the visual style of SDC's anime, everyone looked so stiff and angular and chunky.

I love how saturated DiU has been so far and how much softer everything looks. And from what I understand, part 5 is even more colorful, not to look ahead in the future too far, though.

Yeah, all the parts from here on out are way softer, art-wise. According to Araki, he can't even remember how to draw the big angular Kenshiro-esque dudes anymore, ever since he changed his art style for Pt4.

Which is apparently why Star Platinum looks so weird on the JoJonium covers.

We got it by way of a Chinese student trying to translate the Chinese release into English for a school project (he failed).

I thought this was a fake story someone spun up and the real reason was that it was some person translating the chinese release because they really liked jojo and wanted to share it with the english speaking world and they were really enthusiastic about it so they were able to rush out translations real quick

I assumed he got aqua necklace to stand underneath his feet so he could use it as a little platform. thank you

he used aqua necklace to control the executioner, and the executioner used a badly tied rope that would not close enough to suffocate him or snap his neck

as for why he went through it if he could control nearly anyone in the facility, he thought it would make him sound really badass

No, the rule is that only Stands can touch Stands.* Stand users can be killed by loving anything.

*This varies by Stand, but the general rule is if the Stand is not bound to a physical object, it can't be perceived or touched by normies.

You may be thinking of the thing that only Stands can fight against Stands. Stand users aren't like Highlander, they can die tons of ways.

Stand Users are regular humans/animals, DIO and Vanilla Ice aside. They can be killed by whatever would kill them normally.

If you recall, Wheel of Fortune tried to kill the whole group by getting them to car crash into a truck.

You can attack the user, but it seems like they only think to do this sometimes. I feel like a lot of the fights (in the past and future really) could've been avoided if they had just gone for the user but eh, more interesting this way.

So far we have "Josuke Stops A Robbery", "Josuke Swallows A Rubber Glove" and "Koichi Gets Shot In The Neck".

We need IASIP titles for each episode, just because DiU throws this surreal things into such a mundane setting.

Stardust Crusaders would've gone smoother if Joseph had used his power from Part 2 to attack the Stand User: The Tommy Gun.

This isn't true. If it was then Star Platinum would be the most useless Stand because unless someone else with a punch ghost attacked them it would be loving worthless. Dio could just hire a regular guy with a gun and unless Kakyoin saw him and possessed him with Heirophant Green they wouldn't be able to do poo poo.

Eh? The first thing Star Platinum demonstrates is that it moves with enough speed and precision to stop a bullet from point blank.

Stand users can be killed by anything, but they're not because it's a story about Stands. Captain Tenille most certainly drowned even amongst the Stand users we've seen to date.
